He will be remembered as a talking head on FOX which is bad enough, but to go out known as Head Liar for Bush is something his family will have to live with forever. Stop NOW Tony. Take early retirement from the Liars for Bush Dept. spend quality time with your family and hopefully you will extend your lifespan considerably. Don't let your lies be your legacy.
